Do Sejin doesn't understand. Why is his sister dead? Who would do this to her? To kill her this way… in such a cruel way... He can't imagine the pain his little sister experienced.
After he comes out of the morgue, he sees Ahn Hana staring at her fingers.
Ahn Hana can’t sleep.Her heart is palpitating uneasily. Whenever she closes her eyes, she keeps feeling like the man will appear beside her again. What will he do to her? Do Seol Ah’s dead heart was stabbed. She covers her face with her hands. Why? Do Seol Ah’s womb was taken away.Is that man going to take her child away? Is he going to kill her child? Why did she think that those nights were a dream? He kept coming to her place and he slept with her. He twisted her body around to his needs and fucked her. Her body knows him. She has been raped for years and she didn’t even know. She kept thinking that it was a dream. Why was she so stupid? How did he manage to do that? Her entire life was his manipulation. Ahn Hana is afraid of finding out more. If she learns more truth, she doesn’t know whether she can keep her sanity. “I can’t deal with this.” She sits on the edge of the bed. “I can’t fight with a psychopath in this state.”The man is too dangerous. He had been inside her h
Jung Kwang Soo steps into the bedroom. The woman sitting on the bed looks like a ghost of her former self. Holding her head, she is taking deep breaths. He bends down on his knees and grabs her shoulders. “Does your head hurt, Hana?”“W
[FLASHBACK: Killer's POV]His Hana is growing up fast. At the age of four, she laughs easily. She runs around now. She makes him chase her around the house. Whenever he catches her, her eyes light up brightly. She demands candies. She runs her hands through his pockets if he doesn't give her any. Then, she argues with him with her tiny voice.Instead of reading her colourful books, she prefers peeking at her father's case files. He likes watching her all the time. She also has a pet rabbit now. It’s a white furry thing that her father got her. She likes feeding it, and playing with it.One day, they are alone in the garden with the pet rabbit."Do you like it more than me?" He asks her."No." She shakes her head. "I like you more."Her words please him. Those also make him sad: he isn’t the only one in her heart."My dear, what if you have to choose between him and me?" He picks up the rabbit. It is small and fluffy. He feels its rapidly beating heart inside its body. “Hana, you must c
[Flashback: Killer's POV]When he turns eighteen, he comes back for her.
[FLASHBACK: KILLER'S POV]He visits her from time to time to watch her. He observes her for hours. She is eighteen years old now.
[FLASHBACK: KILLER'S POV]He continues to watch her as she grows. She makes it to the top university of the country. He notices that she is becoming more beautiful day by day. He has visited her at the university frequently, standing far away to watch her.
[FLASHBACK: KILLER’S POV]He puts the orchids in the vase, and then, he sits next to her bed. Ahn Hana is breathing on the machine. She is strong. His dear Hana wouldn't die. She wouldn't leave him alone in this world.
[FLASHBACK: KILLER'S POV]When he finds Noe Kyung Hee, she is only thirteen.She is
Why is he anxious?Do Sejin keeps glancing at the rearview mirror. So he can keep an eye on Im Jihoon, who is staring out of the window with half-closed eyes. The former prosecutor’s face is flushing red after the drinks.He didn’t drink much. Tonight, the woman was also missing. Do Sejin can’t even remember what they chatted about. He accelerates the car toward Im Jihoon’s apartment, wondering what Ahn Hana may be doing at home. They are still living together. He hasn’t received a call from Jung Kwang Soo either. Can he trust Jung Kwang Soo though?Who will Jung Kwang Soo go to? Ahn Hana is back. He is also there.They finally reach the apartment building. Do Sejin calls Im Jihoon’s name a few times. “Prosecutor Im?”
As usual, Im Jihoon goes to the motel where he is staying. He has stopped going to his apartment that he shared with Kim Min Seo and their children. When he is finally alone, he turns on the laptop and puts on the headphones.After a few seconds, a woman shows up on the screen. She gives a polite smile to him as she adjusts the camera to focus on the child in her lap.The child has dark brown eyes that light up when she sees a familiar face. She lets out a loud squeal as she tries to reach the screen, albeit her efforts are thwarted by the woman."Haneul." Im Jihoon gives her a soft smile. "Did you miss me, my love?"The child coos, mimicking his lips. But she is too young to speak.
[Im Jihoon]It’s been a while since he went to see Ahn Hana or Do Sejin. Im Jihoon wants to see them, but it’s not the right time.After what had happened last time, he cannot take any steps without thinking about it three times. Last time, he took an emotional step that had resulted in him being found out by Ahn Hana.He knows that Ahn Hana knows. She had said it in the hospital ward loudly. But she is quiet. Till now, she hasn’t come to him and asked about Haneul.She wants him to go to her.Im Jihoon taps his fingers on his desk, studying the case file on the table. How can one killer not know about another killer? He can easily tell who it is, b
After Song Joo Hee is gone, Do Sejin stares hard at Ahn Hana.“What?” She stares back. “What did I do?”
Baffled, Do Sejin looks at Ahn Hana. Why would she hire this Song Joo Hee?Sensing his gaze, Ahn Hana turns upper half of her body in his direction and says with a straight face, “You said I can hire anyone.”
But she can’t recall who this girl is. But the girl has the look that she knows her. Ahn Hana frowns a bit, but she remains quiet.“Miss Song Joo Hee,” Do Sejin picks up her curriculum vitae and says, “
In the conference room, she only finds Do Sejin. Ahn Hana sits down a few seats away from him, keeping more than three metres distance between them. On the long table, there are already copies of CVs and a notepad. It’s been a long time since she has done this. Usually, she left it on Jung Kwang Soo to decide.
Embracing him is impossible.A creature like him will also destroy her daughter. She can’t trust him.
Ahn Hana takes a quick look into her laptop. She can tell that Do Sejin has tried to snoop. She shakes her head and checks her emails, then proceeds to check the news. The news about her has died down a little. But the national channels have started different talks shows. Her emails are spammed with invites.
